43 min - Optimize to Grow & Scale Your Business with Chuck Andrews
In this episode, host Nana Bonsu is joined by Chuck Andrews to talk about the lessons we can learn from the book "Necessary Endings". Hear Chuck’s advice on starting out, reaping the benefits of your hard work, and working out when the right exit point is for you to allow you to live a free life.
get your free valuation with Nana here https://bit.ly/get-free-valuation
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It may be an unpleasant topic but sometimes you need to prune your business. This means trimming off parts of your business that aren’t working or profitable, and members of your workforce who may not have the skills to be a benefit to the company. Kicking these problems down the road will ultimately get in the way of your business success.
- Don’t burn bridges, or in other words, make sure you end well. How you go about ending any business relationship is very important. Weather it’s making sure an employee who has been let go feels like they can go on to something better for them, or a client who just isn’t profitable any more.
- It’s critical to be in touch with reality. Only having a few clients who are your entire business model could leave you open to losing everything if something changes. Putting all your eggs in one basket can leave you vulnerable.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Wise people tend to learn, foolish people don’t’
‘There are seasons of life for everything’
‘Too often we repeat the same wrong behaviors over and over’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If the vision of your business is not well constructed, then problems in your business ecosystem compound and that could hinder your ability to achieve financial independence in the future.

- Think, what are the biggest problems that will get in the way of your five-year vision? And if these obstacles and changes were removed, what opportunities would open up for you.
- The core for stimulating your business is having customers who are delighted and will return and recommend you and your services to others.

‘Your business is more than the sum of its parts’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We create these amazing businesses and then end up getting stuck in them and become unable to have fun and enjoy our lives.
- It’s harder to pull out of a personality business as opposed to a brand business. If your face is the business then without it the business loses its unique selling point.
- People fail or are slow to create the processes that allow them to be free.
- As a leader if you want to attract and retain the best talent then we need to passionately portray the vision of why the business started in the first place. The right people will react to that fire within you.
- As consumers we want the person who does the thing we need and does it well. We subconsciously go narrow to specifically what we need, where as many businesses try to cast their net wider and wider. You don’t go to an Italian restaurant to buy Taco Bell.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We should be building businesses that allow us to have great lives’
‘A good business is like a generator that keeps running with occasional maintenance’
‘How can we add more value in the world’

33 min - Revenue Growth & Long Term Value Building (Scale Up)
Join host Nana Bonsu as he discusses the goal of achieving personal freedom and financial independence for business owners. This week’s episode of Build Value By Choice aims to energize/re-energize business owners to think long-term, at least 5 years out. Find out what you should be working towards, and how hard you need to work, if you have the dream to be financially free and independent.
get your free valuation with Nana here https://bit.ly/get-free-valuation
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Business owners have a choice to think short-term revenue growth or long-term value building. They have a choice to be enslaved by your business or be freed to pursue other passions and interests. They don't have to take up all your free time and effort. In fact, you can do the opposite, build enormous value while working less.
- In the US, social security might not be able to keep up with inflation and could go bankrupt by 2034 unless something major happens with the budget.
- The freedom number is how much money you will need to live the rest of your life in the manner you want. When your business is worth enough that you can sell it or cash out and have enough left to live the rest of your life comfortably and without financial worry, that is when you’ve achieved financial freedom.
BEST MOMENTS
‘For a lot business owners, financial independence is a validation of what they’ve done’
‘Achieving financial independence amplifies your ability to make an impact on society’
